BigCommerce SEO expert: organic growth for BigCommerce stores

BigCommerce gets the basics right out of the box and leaves the growth work to you. As a BigCommerce SEO expert I build the category content, control faceted search, set the URL structure and speed up the theme, so the store grows from search instead of only from ads.

BigCommerce stores I consult for

From a well-built store to a store that grows

What changes for a BigCommerce store once the growth work is done.

  • Categories with content and intentBefore: category pages that worked for customers and said nothing to Google.
  • Faceted search that helps, not hurtsBefore: filter pages indexed or blocked wholesale, with no plan either way.
  • Clean URLs and fast pagesBefore: default URL settings and a theme nobody had tested on a phone.

The usual traps

01

Faceted search

Good for shoppers, risky for crawl budget. Each facet needs a decision: index, canonical or block.

02

URL structure settings

BigCommerce has several URL formats. The wrong one adds category paths to every product.

03

Theme speed

Stencil themes are fast until apps and custom scripts pile up.

How I work with BigCommerce stores

BigCommerce gives you a solid base. The growth comes from what you build on it.

I start with the category and keyword map, because that is where BigCommerce stores leave the most revenue. Then faceted search rules and URL settings, then theme speed, and finally the buying-guide content that brings shoppers in before they are ready to buy.

Reporting is in organic sessions, add-to-cart and revenue from search.

Questions about BigCommerce SEO

Is BigCommerce good for SEO?
Yes. The defaults are better than most platforms. Growth depends on category content, facets and speed.
Can you work inside our BigCommerce theme?
Yes, or with your developer. Most changes are settings and templates, not custom code.
Do you also run ads for BigCommerce stores?
Yes, when it fits. Google Shopping and search ads planned together with the SEO.
